VIA Interviewed @ Anandtech...

Anandtech strapped VIA's Director of Marketing, Richard Brown, into a chair, stuck a bright light in his face and ran some questions by him.

Anand: On the topic of SMP Athlon systems, does VIA plan on entering the MP Athlon market at all? What about plans to work with AMD's Hammer line of processors? I realize that you cannot comment on unannounced products but are 2, 4 and 8-way MP systems on VIA's chipset roadmap? If so, will you be a launch partner for AMD's Hammer line or do you plan on releasing a chipset after the launch much like the KX133's release?

VIA: We think that the current Athlon MP market is being very well served by AMD, so we don't see that it's in the interests of either ourselves or AMD to enter it. We greatly value our close relationship with AMD, and are working with them on developing solutions for the Hammer line. Unfortunately I can't say any more than that at the moment.

What is it about Canada that causes the cynicism? Is it something in the water up there? Maybe the fresh air?
